LegiStatire Body, the following Message, railing to the Fi nances, and ID the sitting of' yesterday the Project of a Decree, proposed in the Message,, was adopted. Vta KINQ TO THE LEGISLATIVX • " outri.zzaati . , • " We have charged a Committee of our Council of State to present to you a Projed of a law relative to the Finances of this year. "At the commencement. of the present SessiOn we expressed on our part a strong desire to adopt a definitive and permanent system with res,ieCt to the Finances, but since the esth of Nyvernber aTairs hive not been ameliorated, and we :.;);awes been under the indtspenstuic necessity oft pfo visorily shutting our• ports. This. extrente , Land painful measure ought to ensure to us coMpensa-, tion, to which we hhve so much title, and affords au irrefragable proof Of the sincerity and constancy of our efforts in the common cause. Thus we must post pone all idea of a definitive and permanent system until, a Marititne Peace, when alone it .will be pos sible to reduce our expenditure to the amount of our revenue." ' , It then goes on to state, that the expenditure for 1807 had been 78,00,000 florins, and the revenues °lily 55,000,000, leaving a deficit of 23,000,000, t.:;(l.liAive of previous arrears. To.meet these,.a loan 40,000,000 bad been negotiated, which prodliced 08;00100; the 15,000,000, after .plovlding for the deficit, was applied to the paytnent of, arrears, The estimate of expenditure for 1808 is 74,000,000, Whilet the revenue is riot estimated to produce more than 50,000,000. • It is said 'in this part of the Message,: « We can not dispense with . maintaining in a good stite . the Equadrons of the Tow' and the Meuse; We an nounce with pleasure to`the Legiiiative, Body, .that as the price of our . efforts ; Franc ims expressly en gaged to procure the restoration of our colopies; and particularly those of Guiana," To meet the deficit, of the present year a sort, of forced assessment, is proposed, which was : atiok,ted by the Legislative Body, by which those it are to become creditors of the, State , to •the amount required. This is resorted to instead of a loan. VIENNA,. MARCH 14.—Letters from Trieste,.dated the 7th, mention that the English Squadhni on that, coast having received reiiitforcentents; had been cruiz ing for three days between Aquileiza and Trieste, :Ind had come so close to the hitter port, that its inree could be clearly seen. It consists of 1 i Ships, five or six of winch appears to be of the line. Thp, vind had not thenpertnitted them to attack the .4%, nossiati Ships of the Line and a Frigate, which'are anchored in the road of Trieste, but it is feared that .the goglish will make the attempt; in consequence. of which the town will suffer greatly. The batte- . . ries of the port are, huwever, in a respetiable state of defence. 111iLAN, MAitcti .—Mr. Armin, the late English Ambassador at Vienna, arrived at Trieste on theath inst. Two English Frigates were expeaecl in that :Port, destined to convey to Malta thq Ambassador and the other English in the Austrian States. An taglish Zituadrou of ia Sail continued.to cruise in the Adriatic, and prevented Vessels from'either go ing out or coming into Trieste. It was feared that the English would seize the first favourable oppor tunity of attacking the five Russian Ships of the Line and Frigates which were in tbat port. ,A RU.2 vrn—i Dub W t.

We were rather surprised to find in these Papers, a Message from King Louts, to the Dutch Legislature, in which he draws a most deplorable piEture of the finances of the Country. By way of consolation, however, he in-. forms them, that BuoN ►pAlttE has promiied that, iu the Peace to be negotiated, .with„England, he will stipulate for the restoration of the Dutch Colonies, particularly Guiana.
